Yep. On wikipedia it is listed as "exotic western ", whatever that might mean. 
Great! I did not find that hah.
I sometimes work with quarters, so FAFDM is ***3/4, to be precise. 
I went through all Juan Boschās westerns and here are the results:
Una Bala Marcada aka God In Heaven, Arizona On Earth - 4/5
My Gun, My Horse, Your Widow - 3,5/5
La Caza Del Oro aka Too Much Gold For One Gringo - 4/5
Stagecoach Of The Damned - 3,75/5
Dig Your Grave, Sabata Is Coming - 2/5
Dallas - 3,5/5
And Crows Will Dig Your Grave - 3,5/5
La Ciudad Maldita - I found only bad quality tv rip on cg, so I gave up on this one. Just looking at pictures hurt my eyes. 
Ah yes, the quarters, ***3/4
An important aid of rating apparatus of every true rater.
Joe Dakota, a low budget American western. A really good movie and a fairly interesting stuff from a historical viewpoint. Iād almost say a must see.This is a movie that looks like the inspiration for High Plains Drifter! Apart from some comedy elements, 50s relicts (you know hairstyles) and very American like music and ending it is all quite cool. Joe Dakota is a tough guy. A mysterious rider arrives in a little town where about 20 people live. People in the town found oil but there is something wrong about the placeā¦ I wonāt discover more since the revelation of the story is the most fun. Highly recommended. 4/5

Silverado was discussed on these pages last week, which made me realize that I hadnāt watched the movie in years. I had already written a review of it (for a western database that seems to have perished), but I wanted to give it another try before publishing my thoughts on my Blog. I still think itās a very enjoyable, but otherwise unimportant movie:

After all those pessimistic 70s twilight western, and in a time when the western was more or less dead in the theatres, Silverado was a try to return to a more simplistic story telling, to revive a more traditional look at the genre, but with a then modern feeling. Which makes Silverado indeed a very 80s film, while Eastwoods Pale Rider was just another dead copy of 70s US westerns. Even if the plot reuses some stuff from the 50s classic Shane.
Actually, and despite being a superior film, his Unforgiven is also a film which comes some 20 years too late, by being a totally 70s western in form and content. But now the audience bought it, and Unforgiven became an interesting success, also by critics.
Well, whatever, Silverado at least did not revive the genre, and has not become one which grows with the years, is nowadays just a footnote in the genreās long history.
I like Silverado, it is a fun film to watch, about 6,5/10

I watched it yesterday and strangely enough I kind of liked it, although, thereās a lot I would kick out of the movie. The first 30 minutes are by far the best of the movie then it is going slooowly downhill for me. I mean, the whole subplot with Rosanna Arquette is completely ridiculous, same goes for Jeff Goldblum (sorry, scherp). Not sure about Kevin Costner, I liked him, but these explanations about missing acts are just horrible, like when they save the kid in the end and ask about Jake (Costner), the kid tells them he fell off the horse. What a lazy writing. I could go on and on about some scenes and story development. Actors wise, my favorite were Kevin Kline, Brian Dennehy and Jeff Fahey in a small role. 6 or 7/10 and still better than Pale rider.

The Rosanna Arquette subplot is indeed ridiculous and the Jeff Goldblume subplot not much better, but I thought he was well-cast in this role: if you have such a character, ask an actor like Jeff to play the guy. But yes, they could given him more to do. There are more lousy and silly things, itās a sort of hodge podge kind of movie, but itās an entertaining one, a nice footnote in the history of the genre, like @stanton put it.
I always liked Silverado, it was a different kind of western at least from those I was used to, but to me the quintessential western of the 80ās is Young Guns
Billy the Kid (1941)- 
-Good remake of the 1930s western with (Robert Taylor) who emotes quite well in the title role. Not much on action, but the story moves along and the performances help a great deal.
Comanche (1956)--Sub-par western with an uncomfortable cast about an Indian scout (Dana Andrews) trying to patch up Indian-Cavalry hostilities.
I rather like this one despite the historical inaccuracies. I still have a TV recording from when I was four years old, believe it or not. My family knew I loved westerns, so they recorded it for me while I was at school. I remember that day very well. So, I guess you could say I have a soft spot for it.
I watched Last of the Comanches with Broderick Crawford. The film is a remake of Sahara set in the West and a pretty good one. Non-stop action throughout!
I just finished watching Sacred Ground. I wasnāt expecting much since itās directed by Charles B. Pierce and his westerns are often flawed and feel a bit too much like childrenās films. However, it turned out to be really good and reminded me a lot of Jeremiah Johnson. Definitely the best western Iāve seen from Pierce so far.
Iāve also seen Sacred Ground a few time ago in TV, didnāt know much about the movie, but also like it,a good suprise keep me stuck to telly to the end. At times feels like a documentary or at least something coming out od National Geographic but in a good way.
You really care about the characters, and above all an interesting story to tell
Liked that one as well. Overall I appreciate his westerns, theyāre not always that good but he tried something special and itās nearly always worth the effort to verify what he came up with. As far as I remember Sacred Ground was indeed his best
I have a soft spot for his westerns, as well. Grayeagle was a childhood favourite. Sacred Ground is definitely the best Iāve seen so far. It felt like his most mature film.
